OUTLOOK FOR SUMMER RELIABILITY

POWER

Ensuring Electric Reliability this Summer

The major gas leak that occurred at the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility in October 2015 significantly impacted the Porter Ranch community and surrounding areas. While the leak was stopped, the current moratorium on new gas injections at Aliso Canyon poses a significant challenge for electric utilities to maintain power reliability this summer.

WATER

Let’s Keep Saving Water, LA!

While El Niño brought some relief to the water supply up north, it did little to help LA and Southern California. The good news is that LA has enough water to meet our city’s needs as long as Angelenos keep conserving, using water responsibly, and abiding by water conservation provisions.

IMPACT OF ALISO CANYON

The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is a critical gas supply resource necessary for a reliable fuel supply to LADWP’s power generators. Due to a natural gas leak at Aliso Canyon, there is a moratorium on new injections of gas into the facility until the wells have passed comprehensive tests or been isolated, and deemed safe. This uncertain status will make it challenging to maintain electric reliability this summer, due to the fact that gas is needed at 17 generating plants in the greater Los Angeles area. LADWP is doing everything possible to reduce and avoid electrical interruptions while Aliso Canyon undergoes the necessary safety review. These challenges and mitigation measures are described in the Aliso Canyon Action Plan.

WAYS TO SAVE

LADWP wants to partner with our customers to meet these challenges by reducing water and power use. And with recent rate changes that encourage conservation, now is the time to take action. Here are some important tips can help you save.

Ways To Save Electricity

Be Energy Efficient. LADWP has many programs and rebates to help you save electricity and money!

DROUGHT

With critical drought conditions persisting in Los Angeles and Southern California, LADWP continues to urge customers to use water wisely. LADWP is working to meet aggressive conservation targets established by Mayor Eric Garcetti to reduce water usage.

We’ve made major progress inKey energy and water related initiatives

On April 15, 2016, the water and power rate adjustments for 2016 to 2020 were implemented. The new rates will accelerate the replacement of aging water and power infrastructure, protect our water supply against drought conditions, transform energy supply to meet mandates, and improve customer service.

PUTTING OUR CUSTOMERS FIRST

UPGRADING INFRASTRUCTURE

We ensure you have reliable water and power and water service by replacing aging infrastructure in a steady, cost-efficient and customer-focused way.

REGULATORY MANDATES & SUPPLY TRANSITION

We are transforming our power supply to meet mandates and to create a clean energy future for our customers. We are transforming our water supply by expanding local water supplies, reducing reliance on expensive imported purchased water, and meeting regulatory mandates for drinking water quality and Owens Lake dust control.

IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

We are putting customers first by improving customer service in every interaction, increasing resources to improve the customer experience, and engaging in open, frequent and direct communications with our customers.

COMPETITIVE RATES & ACCOUNTABILITY

We keep water and power rates low compared to other local utilities through cost efficient measures wherever possible, and by using benchmarking and key performance metrics to guide our actions and aid our customers in holding us accountable.
